Cattle Baron’s Ball is a fabulous, Western-themed gala celebrating over 20 years in Tampa, where over 400 cowboys and cowgirls will come together for an evening of good ole’ western fun and philanthropy!

The Cattle Baron’s Ball is a premier fundraising event, both locally and across the nation, first held in Dallas Texas in 1974. Since then, the Cattle Baron’s Ball has brought community members together who are committed to raising funds and awareness to help finish the fight against cancer.

Grab your hat and dust off your boots for what promises to be a toe-tapping, knee-slapping, rip-roaring, kick up your heels good time to make a measurable difference in the fight against cancer.
